Why is it important to be aware of the different human rights according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948 as a global standard of human rights. It recognizes the fundamental rights and freedoms that belong to all human beings, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, language, political or other opinions, national or or social status. It is a non-binding resolution because it is not a treaty. It is important because it was the first time that countries agreed to protect human rights. It has been translated into more than 500 languages and dialects. It is one of the first documents to recognize the rights of indigenous people and children.
